Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, for the primary time maybe, has to cancel a scheduled election rally inside the state since an enormous undercurrent in Bengal appears to be favouring the BJP. The unvoiced residents of the state have discovered confidence with the emergence of the saffron celebration as a formidable entrance in Bengal, which is why the TMC supremo is now cancelling and suspending visits to former TMC bastions. Nandigram, which together with Singur shaped the fulcrum of Didi’s anti-Left agitations from 2006 is no longer evoking a lot confidence inside the Trinamool about its electoral prospects therein.Citing ill-health of the occasion supervisor, Mamata Banerjee has now determined to not attend the rally in Nandigram on January 7, which is the day when the TMC commemorates “Martyrs’ Remembrance Program,” to mark the 2007 motion which led to the autumn of the Left authorities in 2011-heralding Mamata Banerjee’s first time period as Chief Minister. This is the primary time that Didi can be skipping this system. Interestingly, the very subsequent day (January 8), Suvendu Adhikari, now within the saffron fold, has introduced a ‘Nandigram Chalo’ rally.Mamata Banerjee will now be changed by celebration’s state president Subrata Bokshi as an alternative, who will attend the occasion at Nandigram on January 7. The announcement was made by Akhil Giri, TMC MLA of Ramnagar with out stating any causes for Didi’s absence on the rally. Surprisingly, this comes after the TMC had revealed that your entire occasion was cancelled on account of Akhil Giri testing optimistic for COVID-19, which made holding the TMC meet not possible.“MLA Akhil Giri from Ramnagar is the chief organiser. He has been hospitalised with COVID-19. In his absence, it is not possible to go ahead with the programme. We have postponed it for now,” TMC senior chief Subrata Mukherjee mentioned on Monday. Even if the occasion organiser has examined optimistic for COVID-19, how is the meet being held nonetheless, particularly after the ill-health of MLA Akhil Giri was cited as the explanation for Didi calling off her all-important go to to Nandigram to host a rally?It doesn’t require an astronomical genius to conclude that Mamata Banerjee is fearful of a significant backlash if she visits Nandigram, which is among the many many areas the place Suvendu Adhikari is held in excessive regard. To save Didi the embarrassment, the TMC state president has now been deployed to attend the “Martyrs’ Remembrance Program” by the ruling celebration. Meanwhile, BJP state president Dilip Ghosh mentioned, “She (Mamata) will have to cancel a lot of programmes now, just wait and watch. Now, her rallies will be limited to Kalighat…The TMC is scared to do a rally there.”Barely three months earlier than the elections, Mamata Banerjee cancelling scheduled visits and rallies in areas from the place she arose as a formidable challenger to the Left regime over a decade in the past, doesn’t ship out the correct indicators. It exhibits that Didi is being cornered inside the state of West Bengal, which is kind of an exit ballot in itself.
